How To Get All Tsuba Guards in Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess

There are 12 Tsuba Guards to be found in Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and they can be equipped inside tents at any time. You start with only one slot, but can later equip up to three of them at once by upgrading Soh. Each guard grants Soh new skills such as powerful moves, special villagers‘ abilities, and many other techniques for fighting the Seethe. They are crucial for beating bosses, especially late-game ones where Soh is fighting alone.

Alternating between your Tsuba Guards in Kunitsu-Gami is essential to lead the villagers (and Yoshiiro, for all that matters) to victory, especially when you mix them with certain special Talismans that will further increase their recharge speed or their sheer power. You’ll get enough of them by simply completing challenges around the game, just like other collectibles such as Sweets.
